10 of the best high-end restaurants in Las Vegas
"For a thoroughly romantic experience, make a reservation at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. Located on the 11th floor of Paris Las Vegas' Eiffel Tower replica (half the size of the original), it's been the site of thousands of proposals since its opening. Serving exquisite dishes created by acclaimed Chef Joho, the French restaurant is well-known for its spectacular views of the Las Vegas Strip, including one of the best views of the Fountains of Bellagio, which are across the street."
"If gazing up at the Paris Hotel’s Eiffel Tower replica isn’t romantic enough, you can always dine on its eleventh floor. This restaurant serves updated classic French cuisine in a classy environment with some of the most spectacular views of the Las Vegas Strip. Whether you’re planning a Valentine’s weekend brunch or dinner, this is the place to be."
"One of those Las Vegas restaurants with a view, this Eiffel Tower restaurant offers you the charm of Paris in the Sin City. The place is charming and undoubtedly romantic. They have both lunch and dinner option available with two and three courses, and the former is cheaper than the latter if budget is your concern."
"When your taste buds want to be elevated to a new level at a Las Vegas seafood restaurant then an ideal place to eat is Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House.

"Sixty-three stories above the south Strip atop Mandalay Bay, the view from the Foundation Room is as classic as it gets. The upscale, multi-purpose lounge serves high-end dinners in a dimly-lit, low-ceilinged space with layered rugs, rich textures and Buddha statuary scattered throughout. There are several bars, a big dance floor, rooms that house live music and live comedy, and then there’s the deck: Stand outside at the same elevation as Mandalay Bay’s glowing marquee, look north and and watch Las Vegas’s lights spread beneath you like a magic, luminous carpet."
"For years, the Foundation Room, with its staggering views of the Strip from the 63rd floor of Mandalay Bay, was exclusively for members. Now, everyone has access to the lounge-y, opulent club, whose private dining rooms are filled with rare artifacts (think Tibetan artifacts, confessionals from an Irish church, a chandelier that survived MGM’s devastating 1978 fire). Pair this with great cocktails, several bars, and a big dance floor, and you have the makings of one of the best spaces in Las Vegas."
"The House of Blues Foundation Room found above the towers of Mandalay Bay is where you come for a nightcap and a full on party. This social haunt has some of the best food, views, and drinks in the city. An award-winning locale, the lounge offers the chance for everyone to experience the elite life."
"One of the most artistic and celebrated chefs in the world today, Pierre Gagnaire opened his first and only US restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas to rave reviews in 2009. Located on the 23rd floor, the stunning dining room provides the perfect backdrop for Twist’s groundbreaking menu of classic French cuisine. Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a dramatic glass staircase leading up to a suspended wine loft, the romantic Las Vegas restaurant’s most striking feature is its lighting, which incorporates more than 300 gold globes designed to look as if they’re floating in the air across the ceiling."
"Set above the brightly lit Strip on the 23rd floor of the Waldorf Astoria, French chef Pierre Gagnaire’s Twist is a bright, creative culinary journey through French flavors and techniques, including lobster fricassee, foie gras and a chocolate souffle."
"If romantic Twist's sparkling nighttime Strip views don't make you gasp, the modern French cuisine by this three-star Michelin chef just might. Seasonal tasting menus may include squid-ink gnocchetti topped with..."
"WestgateThere's nothing better than saying "I know a place" and taking your date by surprise—in a good way, of course. Edge Steakhouse at the Westgate has a perfectly fine dining room with plenty of room for trade show parties that filter over from the neighboring Las Vegas Convention Center.

Starting dishes include a King Crab spring roll, crispy tofu with fried garlic or abalone in cold sake."
"The stations in this place accommodate any Italian taste The name is Italian for "fish market" and while there's definitely an emphasis on seafood, the dishes are based on a wide array of components. Stations throughout the restaurant specialize in all things Italian, from imported cheeses, salads, and flatbreads to fresh-made pastas, steaks, and of course, desserts. Don't get the wrong idea; this isn't a Vegas buffet."
"Mercato is an authentic Italian and seafood restaurant, serving guests market-style, so you can smell the aroma of fresh seafood and shellfish at the crudo station and see the choicest meats at their macelleria station.

"Sugarcane is one of the few restaurants on the Strip that does brunch all day every day, from open until 4 pm, which probably explains why the $25 bottomless mimosas have a two-hour time limit. Originally founded in Miami by Timon Balloo, Sugarcane draws inspiration from a variety of global flavors, adding up to an intriguing selection where duck confit is served with waffles and black truffles are added to the Toad in the Hole combo of melted brie, egg and brioche. Begin your meal with a crispy pig ear, papaya and pickled vegetable salad and make sure to mix in some fresh seafood from the raw bar."

You may prefer to visit before you head out for a night on the casino floor, instead of afterwards, thanks to the brow bar, waxes, tints and nail services."
"The luxurious ESPA at Vdara offers personalized service via a consultation with one of the spa's therapists. ESPA's highly trained therapists undergo extensive training so they can help guests be both fully informed and totally relaxed.
